Change Your Breath, Change Your Life | Habit #7: Intentional Breathing

If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, wired, or just “off,” this episode will show you one of the simplest tools to reset your mind and body — your breath.

In this final episode of our 7 Simple & Easy Habits series, Dr. Becky and Sara break down how intentional breathing can calm your nervous system, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, quiet inflammation, and help your body shift out of survival mode… all in just a few minutes a day.

No supplements. No equipment. No complicated routine.
Just you + your breath.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
• How shallow vs. deep breathing changes your stress response
• Why breathwork directly affects brain fog, digestion, and mood
• What the vagus nerve is (and how breathing activates it)
• Three simple breathing techniques you can use anytime
• How to incorporate intentional breathing into your morning, workday, and bedtime routine
